Obsolescence Management
With developments in the electronics markets taking place in a rapid rate, components come and go quickly.
The Challenge
Component obsolescence is a major issue for companies that design and manufacture electronic equipment. This challenge is facing all companies which participate in the electronics manufacturing value.
Obsolescence drivers can be various: launch of new regulations, the evolution of existing laws, changes of reference designs, rationalization of product range, supplier failures, import-export obligations or restrictions, aging technology, new technologies, etc.
What We Do
VOXMICRO developed and adopted a sophisticated Obsolescence Management Plan in order to mitigate obsolescence risks for our customers.
Being a part of the electronics manufacturing value chain, we have created a holistic approach to ensure that obsolescence is managed as an integral part of our design, development, production and in-service support. We issue and circulate all necessary notices when obsolescence occurs by parts by which we are depend-in. We offer also to customers extended Post-EOL-arrangements including mitigation paths and supply-chain options.
VOXMICRO's Obsolescence Management Plan
A sophisticated Obsolescence Management Plan is constituted by five interacting mechanisms active through all stages of the life of each product.
